Paulton started a bit sloppy, but grew into the game and on the thirtieth minute the ball bounced kindly for Blaine Lawrence in the six-yard box to make it 1–0.
Keynsham equalised in the 42nd minute from a penalty after poor defending. In the second half, Rovers upped their game and started creating lots more chances, and on the 60th minute, Ali Sen had a one-on-one. He shot low to the keeper’s left, who made a good save.
Five minutes later, Mason Harrison hit a fierce shot from 35 yards and the keeper again made a great save. In the eightieth minute, Paulton got their reward and with good link-up play, Blaine went through on goal and slotted it past the keep.
Deep into stoppage time with only twenty seconds left, Keynsham had a corner with a free header at the near post and they headed it into the goal.
Overall the performance was good and Assistant Manager, Jon Filer, felt Rovers should have won.
The Youth team were at Longwell Green on Monday, 3rd September. They are away again on Tuesday, 11th September in the League Cup at Chard Town, kick-off at 7.30 p.m.
